Well I did a bit of research - quite a character, a bit of an artist and in his senior year too.

Love this quote of his ...
The Internet stuff is spooky. I am of course not on line. I do remember ham radio operators though, usually in attics or basements, pallid, unsociable, and obsessed, inhabiting a spirit world, and harmless ...

He has to be on the next list. 82 years old he's gonna buy it soon. On a side note I am deriving far too much joy from predicting the death of other humans. But I'm ok with that.[BlackThirteen - I have merged your thread with a previous to keep the subject together - DWB]
